Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lore City, OH.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lore City where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
